Over time, limescale forms on the surface of all heating devices, especially if the water in the house is very hard. If you never clean your washing machine, the electric heater will start to overheat and break down one day. Let's consider how you can clean your "washing machine" with inexpensive products that you always have on hand.
Soda
This is the cheapest and safest means for disinfecting almost any surface. The amount of soda for cleaning a washing machine depends on the method of application. If you add it to the drum of the machine, you need no more than 4-5 tablespoons. For mechanical cleaning of surfaces, you will need no more than 1-2 tablespoons.
How to use:
To clean the powder tray and rubber gasket, dilute the soda with a small amount of water to make a thick paste. Apply it with a sponge or rag to dirty areas and rub gently. Leave for 10-15 minutes, and then proceed to cleaning the drum without rinsing.

To clean the inside of the washing machine, pour some soda directly into the drum, and the other part into the powder compartment. Turn on the short wash mode (no longer than 40-60 minutes) and set the maximum temperature.
Pros of this method:
very cheap;
simple and fast.
The downside is that soda is unlikely to cope with strong and old plaque.

Citric acid
Citric acid is the most popular means for removing plaque from any heating devices. The amount of powder required to clean the washing machine depends on its volume: for small equipment (about 3 kg load) you need 50-100 g, for a standard (5 kg) - 100-120 g, and for a larger "washing machine" - at least 100, but not more than 200 g of acid.

How to use:
Pour the required amount of acid into the powder compartment of an empty washing machine (without laundry).
Select a standard program of 60 or 90-95 °C. A lower temperature is suitable for cleaning light plaque, a higher one is for heavy dirt, or if you have never cleaned the machine.
Turn off the spin mode. Turn on an additional rinse.
When the program is finished, open the door and wipe the rubber bands, bending their edges so that no water remains there.

Citric acid + soda
This combination of two products helps to cope not only with old limescale, but also with mold and unpleasant odor inside the drum of the machine. Mix citric acid and soda in a 1:1 ratio, for example, take 3 tablespoons of each for cleaning a standard machine (5 kg load). Then pour water into the mixture to make a fairly thick mass.

How to use:
First, apply the mixture with a sponge to the rubber seal, wipe well, especially at the bottom. If there is heavy dirt, leave for 20-30 minutes.
Then, without rinsing off the mixture, turn on the hourly wash mode at maximum temperature, turning off the spin.
The advantage of this method is that citric acid and soda in a mixture work more effectively than separately. However, you may not always have both at home.
Vinegar
Cleaning the washing machine with 9% table vinegar helps remove heavy scale, mold and eliminate unpleasant odors. To clean the drum from scale, dilute vinegar with water in a ratio of about 1:10, for example, take 2 liters of water for 200 ml of vinegar.
How to use:
Pour the prepared diluted vinegar into the compartment for washing powder.
Turn on the washing mode at the maximum temperature for 1-1.5 hours without spinning. Be sure to turn on the extra rinse mode.
After washing, open the door and ventilate the room. If the smell of vinegar remains inside the drum, turn on the extra rinse again.
This method copes even with old plaque and dirt. However, it is worth considering that vinegar is a rather aggressive agent, so never use it undiluted. Also, do not use this method often (no more than once every 3 months) so as not to damage the rubber seal.
Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola (or Pepsi) contain phosphoric acid, which, when exposed to a metal surface for a long time, removes scale and rust from it. For one soaking cycle, you will need at least 4-5 liters of cola to clean a standard-load machine.
How to use:
Pour about 4-5 liters of the drink into the drum of the washing machine.
Turn on the soaking or pre-wash mode.
After completion, drain the water and turn on an additional rinse.
The advantage of using this method to clean the washing machine is that phosphoric acid in drinks such as cola and Pepsi effectively removes limescale. However, this method can hardly be called budget-friendly, because one procedure will require at least 4-5 liters of cola. In addition, such a drink is not always at home.
